Meego is already being used in the Nokia N900 phone. In the USA it is only available through T-Mobile, which doesn't have the coverage I need. In the EU, where there are much better networks, It's a very popular phone.
Oops, I think I confused Maemo for Meego. This is what happens when you scan IRC logs and don't read closely. I have an acquaintance from Holland who has a N900. I always thought he was talking about Meego. Derp.
@Goineasy9: Don't confuse people, currently all N900 uses Maemo.
@mfillpot: yes, you can download and install MeeGo on N900, but it still has different problems and is not very usable, it is more dedicated to early testers and developers.
@hoseini: It's not clear when it will be used by default in mobile phones, because currently there is no phone that is dedicated for that OS, only N900 which has no official support from Nokia. You can check what are MeeGo 1.2 release plans here http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engineering/Plans/1.2
Looks like that first phone with MeeGo OS will be released only next year (probably in the beginning of summer).

Thank you for the update.
Are there any specific devices that the developers have been able to get meego to run stable on at this time?
What about the netbooks that they handed out at the meego conference a couple months ago, were those stable or just handed out as an alpha testing platform?

MeeGo for netbooks is pretty stable for daily use. I have tested it on Asus EeePC 1005PX.
I'm looking forward to the Nokia N9 mobile phone which will be running MeeGo. Also the Asus Eee PC X101 will run MeeGo by default. I really hope that MeeGo will take off now! Looks great!

Probably MeeGo 1.2 release will include updated SGX driver which will improve performance of N900:
Most of us are waiting for the new Nokia phone, which will (?) be designed for MeeGo operating system.
